There’s a lot to say about the differences between paper books and ePaper books. Paper books give us extra senses of touch and book-depth to increase memory, and (I think) even Digital Trends writers are allowed to say that the time away from a screen is pretty great. But what if there was a paper-saving, super notetaking, and even discounted eBook that was debatably better than a regular physical book? Well, then we’d have to talk about it.

The latest Amazon Kindle Scribe is one of the best eReaders for notetakers, and you can get one with 64GB of storage for just $365 (or 20% less with a trade-in) right now. This Amazon Big Spring deal brings it down $85 from $450, at least if you buy it between now and March 31. Tap the button below to find the product or keep reading to learn about its cool features.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Scribe

The Amazon Kindle Scribe has a battery life that can last you up to 12 weeks, has IPX8 water resistance so you can even use it poolside with little worry, has a 10.2 inch paperwhite display, and even comes with a premium pen. Our Amazon Kindle Scribe review discusses just how easy it is to read and write at the same time with the device. Additionally, you can get a real sense for how big the 10.2-inch screen is (despite there being tablets for reading that will have a same or similar size, this is big for a dedicated eReader). When you decide to scribble some notes in the margins or write up a memo, our reviewer stated that it “truly feels like pen and paper.”

Now, being able to take notes on a book isn’t exactly groundbreaking. But what is? The AI features that, when using the Amazon Kindle Scribe in daily life, our reviewer described as being genuinely good — not just a cheap gimmick. You can get summaries of all of the notes you’ve taken so far, for instance, which can be extremely helpful if you’re the type to go overboard with notes… or just don’t want to reread 400 pages worth of biophysics notes before a final. Plus, if you have chicken scratch handwriting like me, there’s another feature that will take your notes and “rewrite” them in an easier-to-read format that even your classmates can understand. Even if you already have a laptop for students, you may still want this in your go-bag.

So, if you’re wanting to upgrade your notetaking and get an excellent eReader along with that, this is the time. The Amazon Kindle Scribe with 64GB of storage is just $365 right now through March 31. You can even get an extra 20% off if you trade in a device with your order. Even without the trade-in you’re getting $85 off of the usual $365 price. Just tap the button below to get yours now.

A smartwatch that’s determined to improve your golf game is $100 off today
A trio of Garmin Approach S62 smart watches.

Most smartwatches are made to help you understand your body's performance in a wide variety of sports and activities. Many of the best smartwatches brag about the number of sports modes, giving numbers like "150" or "400+" to show the wide range of activities you can do with the watch. But, truth be told, we all know that a jack of all trades can easily be mistaken for a master of none.

That's why we think you'll be interested in this deal on the Garmin Approach S62. It's a GPS golf watch that acts as a virtual caddie and constant companion during your golf game while also tracking steps and giving you a good look at your overall fitness. It's usually $500, but you can get one on Amazon for just $400 today, saving you $100. This deal is likely somewhat related to the watch being discontinued for newer models by Garmin, so be sure to buy it now if you want it — this deal could very well sell out.
